When did you start gaining weight & did you gain more with each one??

[Jhoppe678]

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I'm only 6.5 weeks and I feel like I've started to gain weight already! I don't have morning sickness, but I haven't really been eating overly much but I feel like a whale! My DD has swimming lessons and last week I felt fine in my suit and I put it on this week and was like WHOA! Last pregnancy I didn't gain anyway until like 12 weeks or somthing and only a pound (28 total in the end)...I'm worried if I'm starting already I'm going to be huge! And I never lost the last 6ish pounds from that pregnancy. When did everyone that's had multiple pregnancy's start gaining and did you gain more with each pregnancy? Thankfully my DH is so sweet and said "honey, you're pregnant, everything is shifting, its ok" But still, someone please tell me I won't be huge, or am I most likely going to gain more being a 2nd pregnancy.

I gained 63 with DS, my first pregnancy. I gained barely 30 with DD, my second pregnancy. I'm currently 10+ weeks pg and already gained 7lbs. So its either another boy or I need to lay off the carbs.

Don't stress. Maybe keep a food diary for a few days and see if you're eating more than usual. My food diary with DS had tons of carbs and Taco Bell. My food diary with DD did not, lol.

65 w/ 1st. 35 w/ second. At 32 wks, i've gained 19 w/ this one.

80 with DS. I didn't start to gain weight until probably 16 weeks due to very severe morning sickness/hyperemesis the first part of my pregnancy - after that, the weight piled on almost uncontrollably.

I'm 12 wks into this pregnancy and have gained 1 lb so far, but started off 10 lbs overweight (5'1, was 138lbs at conception). Hoping not to gain any more than 30lbs.

With DS1 I gained 50lbs and DS2 I gained about 40 BUT there was a 10lb gain the last week and I was super swollen so I try to think of it as 30lbs So far with this pregnancy I am 12wks 4 days and I haven't gained anything but my clothes don't fit anymore. I have been in maternity pants for 3 weeks or so and you can definitely see a baby belly (even with all my extra flab )

With DS I didn't even find out I was pregnant til I was 7 weeks, by my 14 week appt I had gained 3.5 pounds (gained 40 overall). Right now I'm 7 weeks along and have already gained 3 pounds! I think it's mostly bloat, but seriously I hope it's not going to be the trend, I was really hoping to stay in the 25-35lb range this pregnancy!

With DS1, I gained exactly 30. With DS2, I gained 32lbs, but I was 10lbs over my pre-preg weight so it just looked waaaay bigger. Both of them I started gaining almost immediately (not a huge amount, but I started eating more and exercising less, so it was easy) Right now I'm a day shy of 31 weeks, and at first I lost 10 lbs due to morning sickness/not much appetite. Once I started eating more, I put it back on, plus another 10. At my last midwife appt, they were like, "Oh, you've only gained 10 lbs so far", and I had to remind them that, no, I gained 20. I haven't gained any weight since that appt.

I gained a total of 30 with my daughter (my first), but lost it all within 5 months. I had gained 5 pounds at my first 12 week appointment. I also didn't have morning sickness with either one of them, and I've been eating more grains than before I was pregnant. (I have been craving croissants, but fortunately that seems to be passing!)

I'm 15 weeks with number 2 and up 7 pounds, so I think I'm tracking about the same. This time, I don't have a gym membership, and working out with a toddler I'm finding to be difficult...so I'm really hoping to still stick to 30 pounds total, but it might not happen. I remember picking up a 25 pound turkey when I was about 35 weeks pregnant last time and thinking "OMG THIS IS HOW MUCH MORE I WEIGH". That was traumatizing, lol.

it's probably just bloat. I am down a pound this pregnancy, and definitely no real bump yet, but my stomach looks much fatter still than pre-pregnancy, and was MUCH worse a few weeks ago. I think it is worse the second time around because of the weaker ab muscles.

I don't usually gain during the 1st tri due to m/s, but I'm gaining more with my second pregnancy (weighed at 34 weeks what I weighed when DD was born) and my midwife told me that's fairly common.
